Anyways - I had absolutely no idea who OJ was until that murder trial business. I mean, did any of you know who he was before?
I knew about him in the sense that I knew he was famous in America and had been a football star.

I was shocked hearing some sports reporter chappy (Howard Cosell?) interviewing him and using the word 'meretricious'.
